Chapter 499: If that annoying fellow finds out that she likes him…

The moon shone in through the large windows in the corridor, but because of the dark clouds, its light was rather faint.

Under this faint moonlight, Pei Ge was pinned against the wall by Ji Ziming’s large frame.

He lowered his head and gazed fixedly at her.

“Why are you trying to run away?” His clear yet low voice sounded dangerous and sexy in the darkness surrounding them.

“I-I’m not. I only want to go back to sleep.” She gulped. Entranced by the man’s charms, Pei Ge actually forgot about her current predicament.

“Sleep?” Cocking a brow, he lightly caressed her face with his slender fingers.

His touch was akin to the touch of a man deeply in love.

“Are you having a fever? Your whole face is burning up,” he said softly, clearly worried.

Her cheeks heated up again at his words.

Aiya! This annoying fellow is really… How is this a fever?! I’m clearly being seduced by this annoying fellow’s charms!

“I said I don’t have a fever. I’m just wearing too many clothes, so I’m feeling hot.” Lifting her chin, she stubbornly denied his assumption.

“Stop fooling around.” The man gently placed his palm on her head. “I think it’s better if I bring you with me to see a doctor.”

“…” F*ck! Oh, please! I should be the one telling you that!

I don’t even have a fever! I will just end up becoming a laughingstock if I go to a hospital.

“I already said that I’m not sick. It really is just because I’m feeling stuffy! This morning was a little bit chilly, so I wore two layers of undergarments and two layers of fleece sweaters. That’s why I’m feeling hot right now!”

She used everything she could think of to deny her supposed sickness.

Alas, the man did not believe a word of hers.

At her wits’ end, she was about to admit why her face was burning when she heard voices coming from downstairs.

“Mhm. I’ve gotten off work…”

Someone’s here, and she’s coming up!

The two froze when they heard the voice from below.

It’s my chance! It’s now or never!

While the man’s attention was elsewhere, she quickly struggled out of his grasp.

“Ziming, you can go down yourself! I’m very sleepy now, so I won’t be sending you off. I’ll go back to sleep now! Bye bye!”

With that said, she sprinted upward as though a ghost were hot on her heels.

“…” He pursed his lips tightly together at the way she ran away.

What is that dumb woman doing? Running away so fast—

“Ahhhh!”

The man, who was dazedly staring in the direction the woman had disappeared to, heard an ear-splitting scream from beside him.

His forehead scrunched up tightly at that.

However, thanks to this scream, the sensor lights lit up, as though having been fixed.

“…” When the sensor lights flickered open, the lady, who was initially screaming her lungs out at the man’s unmoving figure in the dark, instantly froze.

A phone was held in her hand, and she stared at him with dark eyes glinting.

Sweeping her with unhappy eyes, the man circumvented her to continue making his way down the stairs aloofly and haughtily.

Going back to the lady holding a phone, right now, her thoughts were filled with sunflowers and sunshine.

“Ahhh! I just saw a handsome man in the corridor outside my apartment! He’s really…”

Frowning, Ji Ziming exited the building and tilted his head to look at Pei Ge’s house.

That dumb woman… should be fine, right? Her face is so hot. Does she have a fever…

Once he got back to his car, the worried him whipped out his phone and dialed her number.

However, the woman only answered on his third call.

“Why did you just pick up my call?” he coldly questioned.

“Er… My phone wasn’t with me earlier,” she mumbled, sheepish.

“Are you really not sick?” While he was unhappy with her poor excuse for not picking up his call quickly, he did not bother pressing her for the real reason, either.

“I said it many times already; I’m really not sick. Relax. My health is in tip-top condition,” she replied exasperatedly.

Noting her upbeat voice, he lightly hummed in acknowledgement.

“Then… I’ll hang up now; I’m really too sleepy.” She carefully bid the man good night.

“All right. Go take a rest.” His eyebrows twitched ever so slightly.

…

Once the call ended, she sighed in relief.

Feeling as if all the energy had been sucked out of her body, she leaned heavily on the wall as she slowly slid down to the floor.

“It’s really a little terrible…” she mumbled.

My resistance to that man’s charms seems to be getting worse…

Ever since receiving that call from Qin Qitong and realizing how deep her love was for him, she was unable to calm herself down.

For example, today, the man merely got closer to her, and they were only a little intimate with their actions, yet her heart was already in a mess.

“Sigh… What should I do in the future?” She hugged her head as her stress mounted, totally unable to imagine how she could stay by his side without giving herself away.

I shouldn’t have agreed to that contract about acting as his shield.

“If that annoying fellow finds out that I like him, he’ll probably be very angry…” she mumbled, feeling desolate.

If that annoying fellow learns that I like him, he’ll most likely be very angry…

After all, he clearly said that he doesn’t like me.

So, if I still like him despite that, he’ll probably find me very…

“Hah!” She heaved a huge sigh and rubbed her head until her hair was like a chicken’s nest. “Forget it; forget it. I won’t think about this anymore. I’ll stop thinking of this here. Let nature take its course. If that annoying fellow finds out, just let it be…”

Unbeknown even to herself, deep within her lay an anticipation of how the man would react if he realized her feelings for him…
